Introduced in the most recent alpha update, the Festron are another brand-new race for upcoming 4X game Galactic Civilizations IV. Originally designed to be everyone’s favorite galactic monster, Stardock also felt that players would have the appetite to play as the nightmare, too - and now, you can.
Not only can the Festron prey on and steal other races' ships, they can even consume their citizens to spawn more Festron. This also has the helpful benefit of giving a morale boost to every citizen on that planet, because who doesn’t enjoy a free meal?
Better yet, whenever a Festron consumes another race, the new citizen that emerges from that, ah, process, will take on traits based on the original species. Consuming a Mimot, for example, gives the resulting Festron a boosted growth rate, while snacking on a Navigator gives a bump to science output. The exceptions are the Yor and the Onyx Hive - as non-organic lifeforms, we imagine they don’t taste very nice.
